Integrating OBIP with GRC for Reporting

Hello Experts
I am very new to the GRC suite. I wanted to know if it is possible to use OBIP for developing custom reports for AACG to meet specific audit requirements. Are there any OOTB report templates that can be loaded in OBIP for eGRC?
Regards
Deepali B

1.Technically you should be able to use OBIP to develop custom reports for AACG although the effort required might be significant, although some integration is provided between EGRC 8.6.4+ and OBIP OOTB.
2.No there are no OOTB report templates that can be loaded in OBIP for eGRC.

Integrating CUPS with Exchange for Calendaring

Hi,
I have a query about the certificates work when integrating CUPS and Exchange for calendaring information.
I have a front-end exchange server with OWA installed and this is the one I'll use to connect CUPS to. However, the exchange server can only have one certificate and this certificate has the external name of the server - ie. owa.domain.com
Obviously my CUPS server will be connecting to the server internally but the internal name of the server is exchange.domain.local which doesn't match the certificate name therefore will give an error.
How do we get CUPS to accept the external certificate when connecting to the internal side of the server.
THanks,
Neil

We had the same problem, we ended up creating an internal DNS entry that used the external name to allow it to function correctly.

SharePoint 2013 and Windows authentication (integrated) or SharePoint user for report data source

Hello,
I am having issues creating report datasource in "Windows authentication (integrated) or SharePoint user" in SharePoint 2013. I followed the steps mentioned in the link http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2014/04/28/sharepoint-adventures-using-claims-with-reporting-services.aspx.
I am just stuck in the delegation piece here. I have a SSAS instance by name "XXXXAPPV01\Multidimensional". First thing is what is the procedure to set SPN for this instance? I need to add this service in the delegation tab so that C2WTS service
configured correctly.
Nothing but I should be able to access my SSAS 2012 cube from SSRS 2012 by "Windows authentication (integrated) or SharePoint user" as the authentication method.
Palash

I used the below command to set SPN for analysis services.
setspn -S MSOLAPSvc.3/XXXXAPPV01APPV01.xxxxdmo.local:Multidimensional xxxxdmo\svcMyService
After setting the SPN for this service account I added this account(xxxxdmo\svcMyService) in the delegation tab of my domain account created earlier for claim service (xxxxdmo\svcC2WTS). Now in service type it shows -> MSOLAPSvc.3, User or Computer it shows
-> XXXXAPPV01APPV01.xxxxdmo.local and in Port it shows -> Multidimensional. This is in my svcC2WTS account delegation tab. Still I am not able to connect datasource by "Windows authentication(integrated) or SharePoint User". I am getting the
same error "Cannot convert claims identity to windows token".
I am not sure what am I missing in this configuration piece yet to get this working.

Xml publisher of R12 with apex for reporting

Hi gurus,
can i use the inbult xml publisher engin of R12 to configure Apex reports.
Please Help
Regards
Vishal

NO, the license for that version of BI Publisher does NOT allow you to use it with external tools.... You would be better off getting a new licensed version for your APEX install...
Thank you,

We are running GlassFish on Debian 5.0 (Lenny)
Any help appericated :)

Here is what I did to get it to work.
1. Copy xmlparserv2.jar from my ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/lib directory to my glassfish domains/domain1/applications/fop/WEB-INF/lib directory.
2. Added the following two lines to the glassfish domains/domain1/fop/apex_fop.jsp before the driver.run() line

Integrating BOBJ XI 3.1 with GRC AC 5.3

Hi all
Has anyone worked on integrating BOBJ with GRC Access Control 5.3.
We have been using GRC CUP for access provisioning all the SAP (ECC, BI, Portal) systems. Now, we have integrated SAP Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 with our SAP BW system.
We are looking to provision the BOBJ groups to users when they request BI roles. Has any one done this integration or do you have any documentation on this topic?
Appreciate your response.
Thanks
Kee

Hi Kee,
AC 5.3 CUP can only provision ABAP roles and via the portal RTA UME and portal roles.
Best,
Frank

BI with GRC

Gurus,
Has anybody worked on BI 7.0 with GRC 5.2? Does BI follow the same approach like integrating ECC with GRC tools?
Any thoughts will be very helpful.
Thanks
Sundaram

Hi,
depends on what way are you talking about.
If you want Risk Analysis for BI, this should be possible. As there is mainly custom reports in BI, there is no standard Rule Set delivered by SAP. You will have to create your own Rule Matrix.
From 5.3 it is also possible to integrate Access Control reports into BI, so you can create your own complex views on CC, AE ... output data.

Oracle IAM integration with GRC 10

Hi All,
Our client is using Oracle IAM for user provisioning process. Now they have SAP GRC being implemented for two of their SAP systems. Now client wants to integrate SAP GRC Access Risks analysis (ARA) for SOD analysis and User Access Management(UAM) for user provisioning modules of SAP GRC 10 with Oracle IAM.
As far as i know, webservices needs to be activated in GRC 10 and has done that. Now i want to know how Oracle IAM communicates with GRC 10. How connectors needs to be developed, User account to be created for web service access and how the parameters are passed from oracle to grc.
Also how many different scenarios are there in oracle IAM for this integration?
In SAP IDM vs SAP GRC integration we have 2 scenarios.
1. Request raised in IDM -> SOD analysis in GRC -> Provisioning in GRC -> Return success/failure status back to IDM
2. Request raised in IDM -> SOD analysis in GRC -> Return SOD success/failure status back to IDM -> Provisioning in IDM
So can anyone help with possible scenarios for this integration process??

Hi vikas and Frank,
Do you have any information related on How to enable the webservices in the GRC 10 (does NWBC holds the key). if you have any information related to it please share it with me.
Thanks and regards,
keerthi

Cross-enterprise integration of SAP GRC Access Control with PeopleSoft

Friends,
Does anybody has/have/had the owner to implement Cross-enterprise integration of SAP GRC Access Controls 5.2 with PeopleSoft ?
If yes, what are the key points and approach one should keep in mind while going for this kind of cross-enterprise implementation.
Is there any reference material, blog, wiki or such informative resource regarding cross enterprise GRC implementation available on the web?
I tried to search, but could not get good results.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Amol Bharti

Amol-
From my experience:
CC 5.2 with Peoplesoft: as long as you have the RTA's installed in the Peoplesoft system and create the connectors in CC, you are good to go.
AE 5.2 with Peoplesoft: cannot provision to Peoplesoft, however you can connect with Peoplesoft HR for Password Self-Service. You have the capability to provision to SAP HR.
FF 5.2 with Peoplesoft: N/A
RE 5.2 with Peoplesoft: N/A
I am not sure if there are any standalone docs out there for AC integration with Peoplesoft. And the 5.2 manuals have sparse information on integration. However, the AC 5.3 manuals have more detailed info on the integration piece with various other non-SAP systems.
Sorry, I couldn't share more info, as that is all I know for now...

Crystal Report Viewer Credential Prompt for Report with Dynamic Parameters

The .NET Crystal Report Viewer is prompting for database credentials when launching a report containing dynamic parameters. This only occurs for reports created with SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer. Reports created with Crystal Reports XI designer (where dynamic parameters were first introduced) work correctly.
The credential prompt window contains the following fields:
- Server Name: <server name> (disabled)
- Database Name: <database name> (disabled)
- User Name: <empty> (enabled)
- Password: <empty> (enabled)
- Use Single Signon Key: false (disabled)
The values in the prompt window which are disabled are the database connection values used during the design of the report in the SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer.
Expected Result:
- No prompt for database credentials.
- Values read from the database should be populated in a drop down for the dynamic parameters.
Environment:
- Visual Studio 2010 (C#)
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4
- SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010
- SAP Crystal Reports 2011
The database connection is being set to use a DSN. It must be a DSN as the calling application is only aware of the DSN/Username/Password values. These values are being passed to the Crystal Report Viewer contained in a Windows form.
The database connection for the report is being set as follows:
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection otherwise the connection does not work
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Supposed to set the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
The SetConnection method's signature is as follows:
   SetConnection(string server, string database, string name, string password)
As you can see from the code snippet above I am setting the DSN name as the server parameter, blank for the database parameter (a database connection using DSN should only require DSN name/Username/Password) and the database username and password respectively.
Is this a SAP bug?
Is this the correct way of setting the database connection to use a DSN?
Is there some other properties that need to be set somewhere else in the report through code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the pointer to the database connection code generator. After taking a look at the output from the tool I was able to finally get the dynamic parameters to load and populate properly without prompting for credentials. I needed to tweak the outputted code a bit to match my requirements of using a DSN only connection.
Instead of updating the database connection properties contained within the Report.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalReports.Engine namespace, I changed it to replace the database connection properties in the Report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel namespace. For one reason or another, using the RAS namespace solved the problem.
Below is the updated code with the change made:
using RAPTable = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table;
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Sets the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
// The attributes for the QE_LogonProperties which is part of the main property bag
PropertyBag innerPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
innerPropertyBag.Add("DSN", this.DSN);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UserID", this.LoginName);
innerPropertyBag.Add("Password", this.Password);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UseDSNProperties", "true");
// The attributes collection of the tables ConnectionInfo object
PropertyBag mainPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
mainPropertyBag.Add("Database DLL", "crdb_ado.dll");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_DatabaseType", "OLE DB (ADO)");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_LogonProperties", innerPropertyBag);
// Pass the database properties to a connection info object
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
connectionInfo.Attributes = mainPropertyBag;
connectionInfo.Kind = CrConnectionInfoKindEnum.crConnectionInfoKindCRQE;
connectionInfo.UserName = this.LoginName;
connectionInfo.Password = this.Password;
// Replace the database connection properties of each table in the report
foreach (RAPTable oldTable in this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables)
    RAPTable table = new RAPTable();
    table.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
    table.Name = oldTable.Name;
    table.QualifiedName = oldTable.QualifiedName;
    table.Alias = oldTable.Alias;
    this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(oldTable, table);
this.report.VerifyDatabase();
Thanks again Ludek for the help.

ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration Scenarios with SAP DS for ESA v3

Hi,
we are planning two PoCs of Integration Plattforms. One of our major requirement set is SAP Integration into our existing SOA.
Because we also have R/3 4.7 Systems in production, we are planning to test ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios with these Integration Plattforms.
My question is:
We are looking for are smart solution to get a SAP Test Environment, where we can test ALE/IDOC und RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios.
It is possible to do this with SAP DS for ESA v3 or shall we better use IDES for that purpose?
Best regards,
Steven

Hi Abhishek,
This is our scenario. We are doing an integration of SAP HR r/3 system with the CRM system. We need housing information details of the employees which we have in custom infotype 9310 in SAP HR system and we need those details in the CRM system. So am planning out for an ALE/IDOC approach for the integration and gonna maintain the 9310 details in a custom table. In the CRM system, we gonna build a BOL layer for accessing the 9310 details. Also i'm preparing a HLD for this process. I wanna read and go through few same HLD's before i submit my proposal to my client. Please suggest me and help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Expense Types with Input Tax (GST) - mapping to GL Account for reporting

We are in the process of implementing Expenses for countries like Australia & New Zealand, which have GST.
Expense Types were created and different Tax Codes were defaulted to the expense types, as per the requirement. Some Expense Types have no GST while some do have a Tax Code to 10% Input Tax
The issue is, I cannot find a config step to map the Expense Types to Tax GL accounts so that the Finance office in Australia / New Zealand can submit their claims end of the year by pulling up a report from this GL. I can do the regular mapping of Expense Types to specific GLs. I can even settle & post the expenses to FI and reimburse the employees but there is no way I can record the receipts which have taxes on them into the tax GLs for reporting purposes.
Any inputs on how this can be mapped or addressed is much appreciated. We went live with a bunch of countries but, the GST quotient is holding us off from going ahead with AU and NZ.
Here's an example - Expense Type is Dinner. This is mapped to GL 123456. When an employee submits an Expense with the Dinner, it is settled and posted to FI against the GL 123456. The reimbursement is done. But, the Dinner expense receipt has 10% GST which the Finance team wants to submit and claim the tax breaks end of the year. We want all the expenses with 10% tax be mapped to GL 800900. But this is only for reporting reasons. No postings done against the GL 800900.
So, we are looking to map all the Expense Types with Input Tax 10% to GL 800900 and all Expense Types with Input Tax 15% to GL 700600
Here's some of the Tax Config that was done ...
1). SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Master Data -> Control Parameters for Travel Expenses -> Define Global Settings ... Input Tax is set to "Input Tax per Travel Expense Type"
2). SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Travel Management -> Travel Expenses -> Master Data -> Control Parameters for Travel Expenses -> Travel Expense Types -> Create Travel Expense Types for Individual Receipts ... in the Expense Type, "Tax Code" field is set the either 0% or 10% Tax Codes

Issue is resolved ... I misunderstood the logic. Tax Code is linked to a GL account. And when I run PRRW, I see the relevant Tax amount in against the trip

Creating a range with Substitution Variables for Report Script

Is it possible to create a range with substituion varables for use in a report script. For example instead of listing "Jan" "Feb" "Mar" "Apr" in the report script can I use a sub varaible like Jan:Apr that will list them all out?

while I have not had luck with ranges in report scripts, others have. You could have a substitution variable the is "Jun" "Jul " "Aug" or whatever you want the members to be. and it will replace jusr fine

Formula for report to run with data of only current day

I need a report that whenever refreshed it run with data for only the current day. It is for knowing how many checks were performed from the start of the current day to the time the report runs. Iu2019ve tried to use the select expert but I guess I need to use a formula in it.
